A 1912 technical treatise on Jacquard weaving by Fred Bradbury, a textile professor in Belfast. It traces the development of figure weaving from treadle looms and the draw loom through the early French and British Jacquard precursors, then describes single lift, double lift, double cylinder, cross border and twilling Jacquard machines, with their driving and counterpoise systems. Later chapters cover gauze/leno Jacquards, the swivel and gauze reed, pressure and split harness mechanisms, harness mounting and its calculations, and card preparation (design, stamping, repeating and lacing machines). The book is heavily illustrated with mechanical line diagrams and includes worked problems and an index.
